What would happen if I unmounted all but the root filesystem, so that I still had access tho the binary, and then told fsck to run fsck over the mounted root directory?
Nver run fsck on a mounted file system. Boot from a rescue disk, such as the SuSE rescue system, and run fsck from there.
Below is a copy of my /etc/fstab as I would like to edit it so that fsck are performed whenever I restart the machine. With my little experience of ext3 I should not have to wait too long before the login is available. Will the commented out(#) partitions also get fscked?
Set max_mount_count of the partitions to 1 with tune2fs. I don't know why you want to do this, but have fun waiting. Charles -- Linux: Because a PC is a terrible thing to waste. (By komarimf@craft.camp.clarkson.edu, Mark Komarinski)
